4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Geocache Description:

The Torrens Parade Grounds and the large white building are very noticable for anyone driving past, and have a rich history. You're looking for a fairly big cache, which means a fairly big space. Remember to bring an umbrella in case it rains, cos the cache will be where the rain's headed.


The Torrens Parade Ground is a well-known location in Adelaide, though few are so familiar with the inside of the Torrens Training Depot standing on its eastern edge.

This area behind Government House was used as a stone quarry from the 1840s, but from 1893 the site was filled and landscaped.  Palm trees were planted and the first parade ground created. During both world wars the Parade Ground served as a mustering point and enlistment centre.  The distinctive white building, known simply as the Torrens Training Depot, was built in 1936 and has housed various units, including the 10th, 27th, and 43rd/48th Battalions, as well as the University Regiment. In 2001 it was returned to the State Government and restored for use by various service groups, the Returned Service Men's League (RSL) and for the headquarters of History SA.

During hot weather please be careful, because the hiding spot really soaks up the sun.
